Alright if vacuuming a warehouse but be prepared to have to untangle it from every chair, door frame , piece of furniture in your house as it suddenly gets stuck behind you.Alwaysneil said:Buy a Henry. Only vacuum you need.1 -

I bought a robot jobby. Dog used to go nuts when the hoover came out. I now set it off with my phone when we’re out walking him.I’m well pleased with it.1

They don’t annoy so much as make me angry, dumping a dog is one thing but starving it before hand. I’ve been in touch and German shepherd welfare have offered to help this poor girl.1

We have one of those to deal with daily duties and then the Shark comes out a couple of times a week to do a more intensive clean. Our dogs coat BLOWS BIG TIME. Especially in Spring, Summer Autumn and Winter, despite being told the breed sheds twice a year... for a couple of weeks at a time (More like 5 months each time!)SuedeAdidas said:I bought a robot jobby.

I just got fed up of the dog launching himself at the hoover. I'm sure @T_C_E would have a solution for this.......but my patience ran out.Dazzler21 said:

The entire ground floor of our gaff is tiled - but sometimes resembled a shag pile carpet as the hoover was coming out so infrequently.1 -
The Labrador I had as a boy used to love being vacuumed. Using the upholstery attachment of course, not trundling over him with the hoover...7

Heres a video I put together on twitter for someone, normal the start up of the vacuum makes them jump then they continue barking. Let them see you get the vacuum out and simultaneously offer a high value treat but the treat is only given if quiet on start up. if not close hand don't move hand away they will then associate the vacuum with getting a treat rather making them jump.SuedeAdidas said:

Get yourself a dog blaster, nicer on their coats and really shifts the dead undercoat. (assuming your dog has two coats) Then in the winter it doubles its usefulness as you can dry them off in 10 minutes rather than have wet dogs laying around.Dazzler21 said:

You can't get through to this lot down here, they seem to think it only happens in London. 75% of dog owners here seem to think exercise consists of walk to the shops and then home again. One woman told me when asked her about dog thefts from outside shops "Its ok, my dog is chipped" ........when I questioned if she'd leave her handbag outside with her name and address in it she walked off with the hump! You really can't help stupid.....IdleHans said:T_C_E said:They don’t annoy so much as make me angry, dumping a dog is one thing but starving it before hand.

I'm not even London, much closer to Henley/Reading. Dog was pinched from a garden here a few weeks ago, lovely black German shepherd. Was found wandering about in Uxbridge, about 20 miles away, ten days after going missing so a rare happy ending that time.
I'd very much like to track these thieving bastards down though.

When apparently sane grown ups cheerfully shell out north of £3000 for a pretty crossbreed puppy, I'm guessing there's plenty of money to be made from misappropriating any mutt who superficially looks good.IdleHans said:Some people want stringing up.

Cockapoo, Labradoodle and all the currently fashionable crossbreeds are just that aren't they? Crossbreeds. Good looking? Probably. Slightly lower chances of the issues many "pedigree" breeds so often present? Maybe. But 3 large? Mental.2 -
The larger breeds are normally stolen and bred to death, with posh crossbreeds fetching 2K its not hard to work out why the do it, once the realised the male has no nuts its launched out the door, obviously females it takes a bit longer to find out. Horribly smaller breeds or crossbreeds are often used as bait dogs by dog fighting syndicates, so the notion that people have that little scruffy would not interest them is very wide of the mark and often meets a painful death.IdleHans said:I'm not even London, much closer to Henley/Reading.

I'll join the club and say I'd be prepared to beat to death anyone involved in dog fighting in any wayT_C_E said:

Our cat when I was a kid used to love being hoovered too. He was probably the most docile cat I’ve ever known. You never had to put him in a basket or box to take him to the vet, you could just pick him up put him in the car and he’d sit on your lap, looking out of the window. Same thing once you got or the vets, even if there were dogs in there. He used to sleep on my pillow and I’d wake up in the night as he was pushing my head off the pillow with his back legs.Algarveaddick said:The Labrador I had as a boy used to love being vacuumed.

My avatar is Rufus, which is indeed a dog's name in this case. He's idle-jr's dog, and idle jr was tracked the other day by a bloke in a car taking far too close an interest. Idle jr took a picture of him and he buggered off. But Ruf is a no-nuts mongrel, mixture of whippet, greyhound and staffy. He's a fabulous dog, but you'd have thought worthless to anyone else. There's some sick bastards about. I'm not really a fighter, but i'll gladly burn your car if you try to pinch him. Idle-jr would gladly cut your throat. Even I don't mess with him.
